Global RallyCross driver Marcus Grönholm was injured in a crash during practice on Saturday for the X Games in Los Angeles.

Grönholm, winner of two Global RallyCross Championship events this season, reportedly was hurt after clearing a jump and crashing into an exposed light post base. The driver was said to be unconscious but breathing after the crash.

"Marcus was taken to hospital in Los Angeles for assessment of his injuries. Attending doctors are pleased that Marcus is conscious, alert and talking and has full limb mobility. Following his initial assessment, doctors confirmed this morning that his condition has improved overnight following a night's sleep and rest.

"Marcus will remain in hospital for ongoing observation and further tests and is benefiting from the best acute medical care.

"Further updates on Marcus' condition will follow, and, in the meantime, the team wishes to thank everyone for their concern and best wishes."
